@lenee_fyfe We couldn’t have done it without your belief in us!! (And collab time 😎)

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

@msafunk It’s been a game changer for us! It’s gotten them SO much more excited about writing.
We bought super cute dollar store journals so that they would take more pride in their writing as well. It’s seemed to work wonders!

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

We started doing photo journals with our literacy group in the mornings because we wanted them to start seeing themselves as writers.

These kiddos didn’t even want to put pencil to paper before, and now they’re independently writing ❤️#pinkshoes #literacy

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

@msafunk We give students a topic, such as “things that make me happy”. They have to pick 3 things and take pictures of them. We then print them off and have them ready to go the next day, and they paste them in their journals & write about it!

Today many of my fellow teachers went door to door, to drop off these cards.
Please make sure the party that you vote for has a solid education platform.

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

Hey @karriflatla look at me! I can go door to door AND attend forums!

I guess if your party doesn’t have time to raise awareness about the importance of public education, us teachers will do it for you 🍎

Wondering where the political parties stand on important issues facing K-12 education? Check out Vote 4 Kids! https://t.co/GOBrPZ38yR #ableg #abvote #abed

YESSSSSSS 🏳️‍🌈💜🧡💛💚💙❤️🏳️‍🌈

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

So it was a better idea to go door knocking, than to engage with an entire auditorium full of people who were ready and eager to hear your position on important issues?

Seems short sighted and ineffective. ....kind of like your party’s education platform. 🤷‍♀️ #kidsdeservebetter

[jason schilling @schill_dawg]

With all these questions and topics that are important to #yql citizens, I wonder why @karriflatla and @Alberta_UCP would choose not to attend. When I look at who would be best to represent the area I live, I question the resolve of those not here. #yqlvote

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

Thanks @karriflatla from the @Alberta_UCP for making it so very clear that public education is NOT a priority of yours.
I may not have agreed with what every candidate had to say tonight, but at least they showed up #whereistheUCP #silencespeaksvolumes

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

Last but certainly not least, we got to hear from Levi Cox about doing what you love, and following your passions ❤️ @SenBuchanan @CATWALKSalon #literacyday

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

For our second story of the morning, we got to hear about Napi the trickster from Blackfoot elder Peter Weasel Moccasin @SenBuchanan #literacyday

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

Kicking off our @SenBuchanan literacy morning listening to some Shel Silverstein, read to us by the wonderful Miss Nathalie!

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

Taught the kiddos to play Yahtzee the other day - they LOVED it! I love getting to see them excited about doing math 🤓 @SenBuchanan

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

Had an awesome time with Paige @uLethbridge in the Water and Environmental Sciences building today. We’ve learned so much about how to better protect our environment through the #NaturalLeadersProgram

[One District One Book Lethbridge @1D1BLethbridge]

Okay... Here it is! One District, One Book is SO pleased to announce that our novel is Wishtree by Katherine Applegate! @kaaauthor

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

It’s crazy hair day at @SenBuchanan today!

[Sarah DeLong @littleslearning]

Did an impromptu lesson today about how we can get ourselves back from a stressful situation/feeling.
We brainstormed ideas and I am SO impressed with what they came up with!
